Iowa’s high court is the second to reject requests to continue issuing traffic tickets during an appeal of an Iowa Department of Transportation order to turn off or move traffic cameras in the three cities, according to a ruling filed on Wednesday by Justice Brent Appel.

Appel denied a motion to stay, or suspend, enforcement of District Court orders on April 25 and May 17. The District Court decided in favor of the Iowa DOT, ruling the agency had authority to order the cameras off or moved on April 25, and on May 17 denied a stay request for the cities to continue issuing tickets during the appeal.
